This invention relates to improvement sin ipes and has particular reference to afi t f Bacco pipe so constructed that it will readily A further object is to provide a pipe ofthe character described which is economical to manufacture, comparativelysimple in construction and 'highl efiicient in use.

Other objects an advantages will be apparent during the course of the following description. In the accompanylng drawlngs 1 formin a part of this specification and 1n which ke numerals'are employed to designatelike parts throughout the same- Figure 1 is a lon itudinal section through the pipe with the p ug forming a part of my invention, being shown in elevation; Figure 2, is a side elevation of the plpe with a portion of the barrel being broken away, and

Figure 3 is a transverse vertical section through the barrel on-the line 3-3 of Figure 2.

Great inconvenience has been experienced by pipe smokers due to the accumulation of mcotine and other juices in the pipe that often reach the mouth of the smoker. Furthermore when apipe has been smoked for a considerable time the smoke often becomes heated with a resultant burning of the tongue of the smoker. The interior of the ordinary pipe is often diflicult to clean due to the interior being inaccessible.- To overcome these inconveniences Ihave provided means for readily absorbing the nicotine, means for cooling. the pi and means for permitting ready disxassem ling of the pi so that access can be had thereto, and re erring to the drawin S the numeral 4 designates the bowl of'tge ent 14that conforms to the shape of the bar- I pipe provided with a chamber 5 that holds to bacco .6 therein. Integrally formed in the bowl is a barrel or tubular portion 7 having vaphamber 8 communicating withvthe chamly elf fifof the barrel through the medium of a passageway 9.

' The'numeral 10 designates-a plug equipped with a sleeve 11 that is removably positioned ,in a bore 12 formed in the barrel. The plug .10.;has' connectedthereto a rigid piece of wire referably made of aluminum, that exten s through the sleeve 11 and continues I through the length of the barrel 7. 1 Slidably positioned on the wire .13-is apiece of absorb rel 7 and has one of its ends retained within the sleeve 11. The opposite end of the absorbent contacts a cap 15 which has a plurality of spaced openings 16 formed therein.

This cap is detachably secured asat 17 to a p reduced portion 18 of a centrally bored stem 19 which in turn is removably secured to the barrel 7. The cap is also provided with a central opening 20 throughwhi'ch the wire 13 extends. The numeral 21 designates the con ventional metal ferrule that is carried on the barrel for the purpose of enhancing the, ap earance of the pipe.

s a result of this construction when the tobacco in the pi e is lighted, the smoke being drawn there rom will follow the course of the arrows illustrated in Figure 1, the drawing action of the smoker causing the smoke to pass through the passageway 9 thence through the openings 16 of the cap 15 and then through the bore of the stem 19 to the mouth of the smoker.

It will be evident that the moisture will collect on the absorbent 13 and nicotine will be prevented from reaching the mouth of the smoker, while the smoke entering the opening of the cap and passing through the cap will. be readily cooled. It will be further observed that from the construction described, that the pipe due to its novel formation can be readi- 9 1 disassembled for cleaning purposes, and that when desired a new absorbent can be readily installed.

It is to be understood that the form of my invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred'example of the same and that various changes relative to the material, size, shape and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from 5 the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claims.

- Having thus described my invention, I

1. A tobacco pipe comprising a bowl, a 30 tubular portion having a chamber formed therein and in communication with the bowl, a centrally bored stem detachably secured to one end of said tubular portion, a plug removably secured in the opposite end of said tubular portion, a Wire secured to said plug and extending longitudinalh' of the tubular port-ion. an absorbent loosely mounted on said nirmnnd secured at one end to said plug, and a perforated cap mounted on said stem :10 and adapted to contact the free end of said absorbent.

2. A tobacco pipe comprising a bowl, a tubular portion having a chamber formed therein and in communication with the bowl, a centrally bored stein detachably secured to one end of said tubular portion, a plug positioned in the opposite end of said tubular portion, a sleeve connected to said plug. a rigid wire fixedly secured to said plug and extending through said tubular POItlOIL an absorbent detachably secured to said wire and having one end thereof retained within said sleeve. and a cap member detachably sc- Cured to said stem and adapted to contact the opposite end ot said ubsoriwrrl d cap inemher having openings therein winm'unicating with the bore of said em.

in testimony whereof I uliix my signature.
